(You must first enable pop/imap in your account to be able to use it)- POP3 - mail.pnsh.com ports 110 and 995
- IMAP - mail.pnsh.com ports 143 and 993
- SMTP - smtp.pnsh.com ports 25, 465, 587, or 2525
Login for pop/imap and smtp is always just your username, not an email address.
TLS/SSL Required, plaintext connections are denied
Thunderbird users:
Thunderbird requires an email address for login. We find this not to be the most secure requirement because every bot tries logins with the email address. For this reason, our logins are username only. This helps to protect you from those bots. However, it does cause manual intervention with Thunderbird and Thunderbird will require the account setup to be done again on a password change.
To set up Thunderbird:
Open Thunderbird
Go to Menu > Account Settings
Find the Server Settings for your email account
Change the "User Name" field from "username@domain.com" to just "username"
Click OK and try connecting again
This change can also be made via Advanced config while you are setting up, just make sure login is only your username for POP/IMAP and SMTP.
Custom domain
You can also use your own registered domain with us (this is the preferred method of most of our users). We have no limit on the number of private e-mail domains you host with us. Your own domains will work with our service just like all the domains we already offer. If you wish to do this please contact helpdesk with your account name and the registered domain name so we can set it up.
Automatic Encryption
Automatic Encryption is a way to have your incoming mail automatically PGP encrypted on either a per alias basis, all incoming mail, or within a filter. If using an external mail client or Mailvelope, you can import just a public key for this. If you want to read from within webmail without Mailvelope, you can import or create a local key pair. Automatic Encryption is Zero Access encryption, only you can decrypt it.
To set up PGP auto-encryption on a per alias basis:
- Go to Settings -> Identities and create the identity. This will be the To address for the incoming mail you want to specifically automatically PGP encrypt). Ie. encrypt@alias.domain.com or alias@domain.com, etc.
- Go to Settings -> Manage PGP Keys and create or import a key for this identity (turn on the switches the identity you want to auto encrypt). If importing, you only need to import the public pgp key if using a third party client or Mailvelope. You need a key pair if using just the web mail interface.
- Go to Settings -> Auto-Encryption and add the identity (ie. alias@domain.com)
To set up PGP auto-encryption for all incoming mail with one master key:
- Go to Settings -> Identities and verify that the entry for youraccount@codamail.com exists. If not, create that identity.
- Go to Settings -> Manage PGP Keys and create or import a key for this identity (shut off the switches for the other identities listed when creating this key).
- Go to Settings -> Auto-Encryption and click the switch at the top.
When reading mail from webmail, if you don't wish to keep re-entering the PGP passphrase every 5 min (default setting) go to Settings -> Preferences -> Encryption and change the value for "Keep private key passwords for".
Masked Aliases
Masked aliases are the most powerful feature of this service. They are email addresses that you create at will. You can do so in over 30 different domains. For example, you could create an email address in one of these thirty domains that is in the format of hithere@example.com. You can then send and receive mail as this address. You'll also get the catch-all of anything@hithere.example.com to use with this one Masked Alias, which you can also use to send and receive mail.
You can have multiple Masked Aliases. None of these masked aliases can be used to log in or even figure out your real account name. This protects you from compromises where your email address is leaked. Who cares if a Masked Alias is leaked? They can't tie it back to your account and you can simply shut it off if you don't want mail from it without affecting any other addresses or Masked Aliases.
To set up Masked Aliases:
- Go to Settings -> Masked Aliases. There you enter the alias you want and select the domain from the drop list and click add
- To delete an existing Masked Alias, just click the little red X arrow icon next to it and you'll be prompted to confirm that you really want to do this. Click OK, and it's gone.
